    Annoying load times aside, I can't fault ModNation Racers for the nearly perfect package that it is, and for that reason I feel safe in proclaiming Sony's masterpiece the best kart-racing title in the history of gaming. Period.

    Modnation Racers proved a pleasant surprise. A title that brings all the carefree fun of racing karts and introduces something new which can be capable of refreshing the genre and expanding the range of strategic options granted to the player. Next to the solid and challenging gameplay tacked on by developers, you can find an editor with great potential and above all is very easy to use which, together with extensive online support, should ensure good longevity. A game that you love, even if it can't rely on well known characters.

    There is a whole lot of great racing to enjoy and even more ways to be creative.

    It's just a shame that that success had to be tempered by a somewhat overenthusiastic approach to the unpredictability inherent in the genre.

    Fun great game, seems like a cross between CRT and Mario Kart But different:) so many customisational options, create your own character, or Mods, as well as your own tracks and karts:) Spit screen (great fun in 2), online, offline game modes:)… Expand

    ModNation is a great blend of Mario Kart and LittleBigPlanet. It is the PS3's racing play-create-share game. Gameplay is excellent and the controls are simple and intuitive. However, the biggest thing about ModNation Racers is the ability to create your own character, or Mods, as well as your own tracks and karts. Character creation is well done, and those with the patience can create almost anything they want, minus the use of tails and backpacks. Track creation is simple. It is easy to make a course that works, and auto sculpt will fill in the scenery and/or the gameplay items for you. If you are a very creative person and/or like kart racing, this is one that you owe it to yourself to try out.… Expand

    There's defiantly something missing from Modnation racer's that Little Big Planet and Mario cart have but it doesn't stop it being a good game rising over any issues you may have heard about.… Expand
